  • MAPKs Mitogen-activated protein kinases
  • MAPK networks are critical for the transmission of extracellular signals into appropriate intracellular responses, such as, but not limited to cell growth, differentiation, inflammation, and apoptosis.
  • Prototypical MAPK activation employs a three-kinase core module consisting of a MAPK kinase kinase (MAPKKK or MAP3K) that phosphorylates and activates a MAPK kinase (MAP2K, MEK, or MKK) that in turn phosphorylates and dramatically increases the activity of one or more MAPKs.
  • MAPKKK MAPK kinase kinase
  • MAP2K MAPK kinase kinase
  • MEK MEK
  • MKK MAPK kinase kinase
  • Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 is a member of the MAP3K family that activates the c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase (JNK) and p38 MAPK.
  • ASK1 also known as mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 5 (MAP3K5), is activated by a variety of stimuli including hyperglycaemia, transforming growth factor beta (TGF- ⁇ ), oxidative stress, reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipopolysaccharides (LPS), tumor necrosis factor alpha (T Fa), Fas ligand (FasL), endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and increased intracellular calcium concentrations.
  • TGF- ⁇ transforming growth factor beta
  • ROS reactive oxygen species
  • LPS lipopolysaccharides
  • T Fa tumor necrosis factor alpha
  • FasL Fas ligand
  • ER endoplasmic reticulum
  • ROS have been reported to be associated with increase of inflammatory cytokine production, fibrosis, apoptosis, and necrosis in the kidney. Moreover, oxidative stress facilitates the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) that cause further renal injury and production of ROS. ASKl induces apoptosis, fibrosis and metabolic dysfunction by activating the p38 and JNK1 pathways.
  • ASKl undergoes activation via autophosphorylation at Thr838 in response to these signals and in turn phosphorylates MAP2Ks, such as MKK3/6 and MKK4/7, which then phosphorylate and activates p38 and JNK MAPKs, respectively.
  • ASK2 is a related MAP3K that shares 45% sequence homology with ASKl .
  • ASK2 tissue distribution is restricted, in some cell types ASKl and ASK2 have been reported to interact and function together in a protein complex. In non-stressed conditions, ASKl is kept in an inactive state through binding to its repressor thioredoxin (Trx) and through association with AKT.
  • Trx repressor thioredoxin
  • ASKl protein can lead to apoptosis or other cellular responses depending on the cell type.
  • ASKl activation and signaling have been reported to play a role in a broad range of diseases including fibrosis, neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, inflammatory, autoimmunity, and metabolic disorders.
  • ASKl has been implicated in mediating organ damage following ischemia and reperfusion of the heart, brain, liver and kidney.
  • Fibrosis is a wound-healing process in which there is excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM).
  • ECM is composed of collagens, noncollagen glycoproteins, matrix bound growth factors, glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans and matricellular proteins, which provide the scaffolding of both the normal and the fibrotic tissues.
  • glycoproteins e.g. cellular fibronectin, laminin, SPARC, osteonectin, tenascin and von Willebrand factor

  • perlecan perlecan, decorin, aggrecan, lumican and fibromodulin
  • Non-alcoholic steatotic hepatitis is an exemplary type of fibrosis implicating ASK1 activity.
  • NASH-associated fibrosis Multiple pathways are involved in NASH-associated fibrosis including inflammasome-TLR activation and generation of the inflammatory cytokines, increased levels of hedgehog signalling, changes in lipid and glucose metabolism leading to oxidative stress, hepatocyte injury via apoptosis, cell death inducing inflammatory and pro-fibrogenic pathways in nonparenchymal cells and infiltrating immune cells.

  • the fibrotic condition is liver fibrosis.
  • Liver fibrosis refers to the scar tissue and nodules that replace liver tissue and disrupt liver function.
  • the scar tissue blocks the portal flow of blood through the organ therefore disturbing normal function. Damage to the hepatic parenchyma due to inflammation leads to activation of the stellate cell, which increases fibrosis through production of myofibroblasts and obstructs blood flow in the circulation.
  • Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a common liver disease characterized by fat accumulation in hepatocytes that is not linked to excessive alcohol intake and is correlated with obesity, insulin resistance, and cardiac diseases.
  • NAFLD is categorised into simple steatosis and non-alcoholic steatotic hepatitis (NASH), the latter of which can lead to hepatic fibrosis, hepatic cirrhosis, and liver cancer.
  • High fat diet (HFD) is used to induce hepatic steatosis in mouse models. HFD causes fat accumulation and fatty acid oxidation, which leads to ROS generation and subsequent hepatocyte dysfunction and cell death in the liver.
  • TNFa-deficient mice show reduced hepatic steatosis, indicating that proinflammatory cytokines including TNFa are required for liver injury.
  • TNFa-induced apoptosis of hepatocytes is mediated by ASK1-JNK activation.
  • ASKl -deficient mice have reduced HFD-induced hepatic steatosis, fibrosis, and TGFp expression, which is responsible for hepatic fibrosis.
  • Olmesartan, an ATI blocker also improves HFD-induced hepatic steatosis by inhibiting ASKl .

  • LOXL2 has been shown to be involved in fibrotic processes. Fibrotic processes include an excessive deposition of extracellular matrix components, such as collagen, which alters the physical, biochemical and biomechanical matrix properties leading to defective organ function and organ failure.
